I won't lie, no vintage June has been harder than I expected. I cannot tell you the amount of times I type in the first few letters of a vintage shopping website I frequent all too often out of habit. Luckily I removed it from my history so if I want to visit it I have to type it in full then do a search, which is much easier to stop myself instead of just clicking a link and letting it load. So I have not bought anything vintage online in June. I did stop at a thrift store a few days ago and almost got a vintage knickknack, but I thought about it and decided to put it back. I did buy a new doll a few days ago from China, but that's outside of the perimeters, so we're still good. I'm hoping that I'll keep June light for purchases, but I know of one expensive release that I'm hoping on getting that was just announced for later in the month.
Still working on getting stuff organized of what I have.
I got this Malibu P.J. recently in a lot with another doll I wanted and I've decided to keep her. I don't have a Malibu P.J. and while I don't love the Palm to Rear hands, I'm just going to ignore it for now. I need to decide something to do to cover her pigtail elastics, but that's future me's problem. I did have this outfit on a headless Japan Malibu body, but decided to give it to P.J. since she's got a head. Not sure if I'll get her something more 80s eventually, but I do like her skin tone with the yellow.
I went to a doll event last weekend and picked up this Growing Up Skipper. Originally I was going to use for a body donor for a Growing Up Ginger head I rerooted, but on closer inspection, she's a really nice shape. She's even still has her original hair ribbon. I decided to clean her up and hold onto her as is. I do have another really nice Skipper so I really don't need two, but she's here now and she's on display. I know I have her longer skirt around here somewhere, but I'm missing her shoes and the rest of her outfit. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for them.... once No Vintage June is over.
